Early Intervention Program

White Glove is an approved provider of EIP services and under contract with the municipality to deliver EIP services. The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a public program for children under the age of three who are either suspected of having or are at risk for developmental delays or disabilities. Potentially eligible children must be referred to the county program, you can call the Early Intervention Program in your area to refer your child (if you live in New York City call 311, in Nassau County call (516) 227-8661, and in Suffolk County call (631) 853-3100. Someone else can help you make the referral to the Early Intervention Program if you wish. Early Intervention services in your IFSP authorized by your county are provided at no cost to you. Your child’s health insurance may be used to cover some of the costs. All other costs for EIP services are paid for by your county governments and New York State. Early intervention services are provided where it’s best for your child – in places such as your home, day care, or other community settings. The EIP covers the cost of early intervention services only. When early intervention services are delivered in childcare settings or community locations that require a fee, the parent is responsible for paying any associated costs with such access to childcare or community locations. A child’s eligibility for the program can be determined only by state-approved evaluators under contract, and all services must be authorized by the county. The municipality will arrange for service providers, considering the individual needs of the child and family, to deliver services authorized by the municipality.
